This was an incredibly exciting project for me. Street Taco is authentic – it’s not pretentious or trying to be something that it’s not. I decided to create several meaningful and distinct pieces showcasing my interpretation of ‘street art.  The first, and possibly my favorite, piece is a full, floor-to-ceiling representation of a #BadHombre. He’s edgy and cool, and his tattoos and rings show that he’s spent some actual time on the ‘streets’.  One of my favorite seats in the house – a comfy corner booth near the entrance of the taqueria – showcases a girl with a beautiful skull face, gripping roses and seemingly lusting after something out of sight. It has a very ‘Day of the Dead’ vibe, felt by the elusiveness of the beautiful lover passing into the after love.
